Resident Manager Finance

Are you looking for a management rights funding solution?

The short term letting market in Australia is very competitive. New properties are constantly under construction which drives up the overall standard and consumer expectations. In addition to this, online review platforms are influencing consumer decision making. Negative reviews about ‘tired and dated’ properties can have a huge impact on occupancy levels and the average daily rate a property can achieve.

Regular property refurbishments ensure that a property remains relevant in a crowded market. However, they do come at an expense. The cost involved can sometimes be prohibitive for some lot owners and therefore the upgrades never happen. The property becomes inferior to others in the market, the average daily rate and occupancy levels continue to decline, and the yield delivered to both manager and lot owner diminishes.

Our Funding Solutions

CFI Accommodation Finance have a funding solution specifically for apartments that are available for short term letting. 

CFI Accommodation Finance have a funding solution specifically for apartments that are available for shortterm letting. The finance product enable slot owners to upgrade their property without having to part with their hard earned capital. Instead, repayments are deducted from the letting income collected by the manager.

The approval process is fast and the information required from the lot owners is minimal. This solution enables managers to forge ahead with the project without unnecessary delays that are normally encountered when waiting for lot owners to consult their bank manager or redraw against their home loan. Our simplified approach will significantly increase the uptake rate, remove the affordability argument and allow you to maintain momentum on the project. 

A refurbished property will often generate higher occupancy rates, higher daily rates and deliver sa better return for both the manager and the lot owner.

You will be appointed as our “agent” which enables you to:

   a) Communicate the funding offer to the lot owners

   b) Collect finance applications and identification (if required)

As part of the document pack issued to the lot owner, theys ign a deed instructing you (the Manager) to pay us (the Financier) the monthly repayment amount from the letting income collected. The repayment amount is then direct debited by us on a monthly basis from the bank account that is controlled by the manager. 

The finance term is four years and at the end of that term there is nothing further to pay and the monthly direct debits would cease. 

We can provide funding to lot owners when the partment is being used purely for short term letting. Lots can be owned by individuals, companies, trusts or SMSFs.

We can fund most refurbishment costs including furniture, soft furnishings, mattresses, window coverings, carpet, painting, TVs, Wifi and other technology. We can also fund bathroom, kitchen and laundry upgrades. When funding apartments owned by individuals, a maximum of 45% of the funding can be attributed to ‘non-removable” items such as bathrooms & kitchens. 

If an apartment is removed from the letting pool, then you (the Manager) would advise us so that we can cease the direct debit on that apartment. We can then liaise directly with the lot owners to alternate payments arrangements.
